Tasting Notes

Aroma

Mulberry, fruit cake spices, baked cherry compote, riverstone, anise, mocha and blackberry.

Appearance

Deep maroon.

Palate

Cacao nibs, spice and blackberry cherry fruits, leading to a core of beautiful plummy fruits, rounded out with a river stone mineral note. So much power, yet so much finesse with incredibly fine tannins and fantastic length. Super fresh and supple drinking now, but the 2021 HJ will certainly reward cellaring for the very patient (and self-disciplined!)

Cellaring Potential

Drink now to 2050.

Vintage Notes

2021 was one of the best vintages we have ever had in McLaren Vale. After two years of very low crops and drought, 2021 was perfect in almost every way - apart from a global pandemic that is! Pretty much perfect ripening conditions and one that we will remember for years to come.

Winemakers Comments

This is the 20th release of our iconic HJ Shiraz. The HJ is picked from our very best parcels of old vine Shiraz on the Taranga vineyard – it has been barrel selected and bottle aged for your optimum enjoyment. Named after our grandfather Herbert John ‘HJ’ Oliver, we know he would be very proud of his namesake wine. The HJ joins the DJ Cabernet and RW Grenache as ‘The Greats’, wines representing family members who have been instrumental in the creation of a great multi- generational family business.

    Deep, dense colour and a powerful nose of fruit-cake, blackberry, chocolate and mocha, with geneorus oak. A very punchy full-bodied red with hedonistic ripe fruit and lavish oak, the tannins ample and supple, complementing the flavour admirably. A classic full-bodied South Australian red wine.  Points: 94/100
